Logical space reporting and enforcement for volumes

Beginning with ONTAP 9.4, you can allow the logical space used in a volume and the amount of remaining storage space to be displayed to users in System Manager. Beginning with 9.5, you can limit the amount of logical space consumed by users.

The percentage of logical space used is shown in the Logical Space Used (%) column of the Volumes on SVM page in System Manager.

The Logical Space Reporting Column shows you if the logical space reporting feature is enabled.

More information

What logical space reporting shows
When you enable the logical space reporting feature in ONTAP, System Manager displays the amount of used and available space in addition to the total space on a volume.

What logical space enforcement does
When the logical space enforcement feature is enabled, ONTAP counts the number of used blocks in a volume to determine the amount of logical available space that is still available in that volume. If there is no logical space available in a volume, the system returns an ENOSPC (out-of-space) error message.
